Data Models

Nope. It’s not mine. Though I wish it was. It is an older post (from the distant past of 2012) on the Highly Scalable Blog entitled NoSQL Data Modeling Techniques . This past weekend I found myself looking for methods of storing hierarchical data in a key-value store (a subject for another blog), and in the spirit of not reinventing the wheel – I broke out my trusty Google search window. A few search refinements later, I discover this gem of a post. Ilya starts with a pretty simple explanation of the differing NoSQL models. But the real value in this post is when he describes the conceptual techniques, some of pros and cons, and the applicability to specific NoSQL engine types.
